Mission and Goals

The WISE Village is a living and learning community created for first- and second-year women engineers, mathematicians, statisticians and scientists. The program combines a group living experience with resident, upper-class mentors who will assist in the transition to university life. Promoting academic success; fostering the formation of lasting relationships with fellow students, professors and mentors; and providing out-of-class experiences are fundamental components of the program. The WISE Village is a supportive environment in which future engineers, mathematicians, statisticians and scientists will engage in focused inquiry within their disciplines and begin to develop the skills and talents necessary to become successful professionals.
